Sarah Blanc

I will give my pets natural alternatives to toys like femur bones and antlers, canvas, natural rubber, hemp, rope or cotton toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community that follows the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

I will prepare my own pet treats to avoid plastic packaging.

I will use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 20 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.

I will give a shout-out on social media to a local company, coworker, friend or family member for their plastic free or green efforts.

I will spend 30 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

I will host a watch party with friends and/or colleagues to watch and discuss a movie about plastics.
